Our condolences to the Manoukian family over their loss, and our sincere gratitude for raising such a fine young man, who kept the tradition of his grandfather, father and uncle, who are all true patriots and have given in so many ways to the cities of Los Altos and Mountain View.

Thank you for all of your sacrifices Captain Manoukian, you are emblematic of a U.S. Marine. Your core values and morals are a rarity in America today, unfortunately. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Manoukian for raising an exceptional American; I hope that more parents follow your parental skills and raise truly amazing & inspirational American heroes as you raised your son!
